I wrote about how a pair of shoes didn’t last long particularly for my daily walking. This time, I’m featuring a pair from a brand that I’ve been patronizing for more than 2 decades now – Merrell.

Their shoes have been very dependable and I’ve had 5 pairs over the more than 2 decades I’ve used them. That’s about 4 years per pair even considering my shoe rotation (I also have other shoes, of course. ) I would say that they’re better than the Adidas Terrex shoes I’ve had and perhaps at par with the GT Hawkins I had when I was a student in Japan. I hope the quality is maintained for these durable shoes that is my preferred pair for the wet season.
